Brate the great for crying out loud. Come on guys. Not wanting to move up to 1st overall to select Howard is one thing but calling Brate "all pro" is a bit much. I get it there's tons of love but reaching a bit much here no?

Wanting to select the 4th-6th best Dlinemen instead of the 2nd-3rd best receiver (wr/TE) because of Jackson or Brate the great is crazy. Two can play this game. We already have multiple double digit sacks guys (or guys who will be this year) along the dline. Want to add another guy to come and for a handful of plays each game? McCoy is gonna be sniffing double digit. Ayers is gonna be sniffing double digit. Spence is gonna be sniffing double digit. Anyone shocked if Smith can stay healthy that he sniffs double digit?

I say we get our 23 year old franchise player some help.

You think we'll have almost 40 sacks with four guys?

its a known fact that having the best DLine rotation possible is going to make you a good team

having 2 good TEs is just luxury and doesn't make you a good team (only if you have a HOF QB #Brady)

so yes id take the best available DE, which may be the 4th or 5th best one in the draft , over the best TE in the draft
not to mention the DEs this draft are deep so the quality from the 2nd-6th guy isn't that much of a drop off

Anyone of the top three guys unnamed isn't close to 10 they had a down year. Who are you calling out to underperform this this year?_________________Adopt-a-BucJameis Winston4,090 YDs 28 TDs 18 INTs

Ayers peaked at 9.5. He's closer to a five or six sack guy.

McCoy will get close to nine, like he has the last few years.

Jacky Smith is probably gonna top out around six or seven, like he has in the two seasons he's actually played.

Spence is difficult to guage. But I can't see him getting 10 sacks yet. He'll probably be closer to eight.

I've got about 30, if you take all the highs. And even that might be generous.

And while I agree the DL depth needs to be better, your missing one important name on that list. Chris Baker. I know people aren't expecting him to do much because he was responsible for the dirty work in Washington in the 3-4. But, the guy has pass rush abilities as a DT. He's 320 solid with nimbleness to him. Sign him up for at least 4-5 sacks easily in a 4-3 with McCoy. Gholston will chip in with 2-3 sacks as well. But, I still think we need a DE to eventually replace Ayers. If Barnett is there at 19, you take him and throw him in there as the #3 guy. Jaq can be Spence back-up.

Ayers was on a nine sack pace last season. He gives us five this season I don't think I'm the only one who is going to be very disappointed.

You have nine for McCoy.

Spence gets eight.

Are those numbers not "close" to ten?

Smith gets seven and Baker gets five. We need to add a first rounder to that group? I'm not opposed to it but I'd rather look elsewhere._________________Adopt-a-BucJameis Winston4,090 YDs 28 TDs 18 INTs

I hear you but it's not about need. I mean why not draft to the strength of a draft. You can't expect a rookie to come in and be top dog out of the gate either.

Ayers has one year left.
Jaq smith can't stay healthy.
Gholston is a beast run defender but that's it.

You can NEVER have enough good pass rushers. Last year we had good stretches when everyone came back healthy. Barnett at 19 should be a no brainer for us. Ayers is an above average DE with a year left on his deal so taking his replacement right now would be a smart move. Saves us more $ and Barnett upside to be better than Ayers. Ironically both guys played at Tennessee. I know you guys don't want to see Lambert out there again.

Barnett is my #1 target in the draft. I know we need weapons for Winston but elite pass rushers are hard to come by. And complimentary players for Jameis can be found rounds 2-3.

Again I'm starting to warm up on taking Barnett (if he is there) at 19. This draft is loaded on players to help Jameis develop. The WR is stacked, the RB is stacked, heck even TE is at a good place. Getting someone like Barnett to learn behind Ayers would do wonders for that kid._________________
